htaccess and problems passing variables in the URL.

    Hi,


    I have following htaccess file, and I'm getting a 404 error when I try to pass variables through the URL like this.

    url.com/search/?sort=hits

    While

    url.com/search/

    works. I tried adding ?%{QUERY_STRING} behind browse.php, but it didn't work.

    Any ideas?

    
    # DO NOT CHANGE THE FOLLOWING LINES
    # status: 1
    # pattern_category: {$cat_path}/more{$page}.html
    # pattern_detail: detail/{$link_id}/{$link_title}.html
    
    Options -MultiViews
    RewriteEngine On
    
    RewriteRule ^detail/(.*)/(.*)\.html detail.php?linkid=$1
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
    RewriteRule ^.* browse.php

    Thanks, but the problem is somewhere in the other part.

    
    RewriteRule ^.* browse.php
    
    Code (markup):
    browse.php is being rewritten to "search", like in the example above. And I'm having problems to pass the variables to browse.php.

    Still getting the same 404 error. This is how it looks now.

    
    Options -MultiViews
    RewriteEngine On
    
    RewriteRule ^detail/(.*)/(.*)\.html detail.php?linkid=$1
    
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ browse.php [L]

    hopeless at reading descriptions,

    RewriteRule ^/search/(.*)/?$ /browse.php?sort=hits&search=$1

    or

    RewriteRule ^/search/(.*)/(.*)/?$ /browse.php?sort=$2&search=$1

    or possibly something totally different

    if u post an actual link to the page along with how you want the urls to look that'll sort it out .....

    and then try remove all the rules and try testing one by one,
